It should be enough but you should really pay attention to the amps on the 12v, but since the PSU is an Antec then I'm 80% sure that it will enough for what you have.

so goin any higher with the wattage would be silly? or a good idea cause i dont plan on upgrading this comp probably ever and i just wanna make sure that everything get enough juice.

and im not too sure what yu mean by the amps on the 12v. could yu plz clarify.

I used to have a 430 watt PSU(a crappy one) and it was running everything in my sig, about 5 80mm fans and my PC ran fine. I don't see why that PSU wouldn't be enough for your rig, and Antec is one of the best PSU makers on the market.

If you want to learn more about PSUs then just read through PSU 101.
